Summary

Daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) Het Anker in Marknesse is compliant following recovery offer on all assessed requirements. There were three violations: staff were not registered in time in the PRK, the safety and health policy lacked concrete descriptions of backup supervision and the four-eyes principle, and parents were insufficiently informed about policy and the inspection report. All violations have since been resolved. There was one shortcoming without recovery offer: missing written consent for care in a different core group, but due to mitigating circumstances no enforcement is recommended. The pedagogical practice is good: children experience emotional security, there is sufficient staff with appropriate qualifications, and the atmosphere is pleasant. The accommodation is suitably furnished with adequate indoor and outdoor space. The municipality is advised not to enforce.
